It was an unassuming day at the 2022 Charles Schwab Challenge, and Michael Greller’s words created an impact that only Jordan Spieth could bring out of him. “I just don’t see it, Jordan,” feels like a line that could follow the caddie forever. Because even when Greller is right, Spieth often proves him and everyone else wrong and has since their partnership began in 2011. That tension plays out in real time on day one of the event.

As Greller repeats his words, Spieth responds, “What don’t you see?” and lays out a daring punch cut over water toward the cameraman. Greller remains unconvinced, Jordan signs off with “it’s on me,” and then threads the shot through the trees, landing it on the fringe and nearly holing out. He still settles for bogey, but steadies with a 1-under 69 and follows with a bogey-free 66, picking up birdies at 10, 11, 14, and 9. At 5-under and tied for 12th, four off the lead, the shot lingers as another snapshot of a partnership built on doubt, trust, and Spieth’s refusal to play it safe, a dynamic they’ve maintained to date.

Jordan Spieth was in the third round at Quail Hollow Club alongside Xander Schauffele on moving day. On the par-5 15th, Spieth faced a 66-foot eagle putt with a sweeping right-to-left break and rolled it in perfectly. Spieth barely waited to see the ball drop before turning toward longtime caddie Michael Greller and doing his classic ‘go get it for me’ gesture.

“Gorilla, can you go get that one for me?” said a commentator in the background as Spieth’s hands moved.

The moment also reminded fans of Spieth’s 2017 Open Championship win at Royal Birkdale, one of the wildest momentum swings in recent major history. Spieth started the final round with a three-shot lead but nearly lost control at the 13th, where a wayward tee shot ended up on a driving range. After a long rules discussion, he walked away with a bogey, then dropped another shot at 14, suddenly throwing the tournament wide open.

What followed was classic Spieth. At the par-5 15th, he drained an eagle putt and instantly turned to Michael Greller with that now-familiar “go get it” gesture. It kick-started a stunning finish with a birdie at 16, a near-ace at 17 that set up another birdie, and a steady par at 18 to seal the Claret Jug. That quick burst flipped everything in his favor, which is why seeing the same gesture at Quail Hollow felt like a throwback to one of his most iconic comebacks.

Greller grew up in Michigan and played NAIA golf for Northwestern College in Iowa. He moved to the Pacific Northwest to be near his sister. When the U.S. Public Links came to Gold Mountain G.C. near his Gig Harbor home in 2006, he approached Matt Savage of Florida State as he was carrying his own bag.

At the Truist Championship, leading into Saturday, with 18 holes remaining, Spieth sits at 25th, but much of the attention around him this week has been about next week’s PGA Championship. He will try for the 10th time to complete the career Grand Slam, with the Wanamaker Trophy still missing from his collection.

The instance garnered a lot of attention on social media, and fans could not help but share their thoughts.

Fans are loving Jordan Spieth’s hand gesture

“Now that’s the Jordan I’ve missed,” one fan wrote.

The reaction reflects how fans still see flashes of the old Spieth, even though he has not won since April 2022. He has shown good form at times in 2026, but has struggled to put together four strong rounds. At the Cadillac Championship two weeks ago, he opened with a seven-under 65 but faded over the weekend to finish tied for 18th.

Another fan wrote, “J is looking solid today. Sharpening up his game for the PGA.”

Still chasing the career Grand Slam at age 32, Jordan Spieth has his best PGA finish as runner-up in 2015 at Whistling Straits, where he shot 17-under but fell short of Jason Day. He’s made 12 appearances overall, with other strong showings like T3 in 2019 at Bethpage Black and T12 in 2018 at Bellerive, though recent results have been middling (T43 in 2024 at Valhalla, CUT in 2025 at Quail Hollow).

Spieth has spoken openly about his familiarity with Quail Hollow, saying he can name the hole locations and know exactly where to miss on every green at the course. That comfort level has never fully translated into results at the Truist Championship, though he is yet to record a top-25 finish across five appearances at Quail Hollow, including T33 after two rounds this week.

One fan pointed, “Spieth’s gaining over two strokes on the greens this week and taking full advantage of moving day with this eagle putt.”

At the 2026 Masters last month, Spieth admitted his putting was the issue, saying he hit it better tee-to-green than the year he won in 2015, yet still could not convert. His Strokes Gained Putting average this season sat at 0.217 heading into the Truist, ranking him 56th on Tour.

One final fan summed the day up: “Moments like this are why the PGA Tour never disappoints.”

“Amazing,” wrote another.

Do you think we will continue to see the classic Spieth again this Sunday or maybe next?
